Old white guy in a real Type R? (Civic)
Because of new North American opportunities for FIA homologated rally cars, I am revisiting the option of B16 powered Civics. The short question is, understanding that I could buy a '98 or new EK9 Civic R, how could I come up with the mechanical equivalent of a '96+ EK4 Civic HB (B16A2 w/S4C trans)? The real thing is known as an SiR or Vti in other parts of the world, if I am keeping all of those dang letters straight...
I have NOT confirmed yet if the left-drive shell is even legal
but would be interested in the advice of the braintrust. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I can't help you. I just thought this was going to be a thread about George Knighton. 
Rguy, who wishes his old man was as kool as George.

So you're trying to import something for race-only use?
As far as getting it street legal, that's up to the EPA.
